The BEST Chicken & Rice Soup

Hey y’all! It’s snowing!!!! We don’t get a lot of snow here in Virginia so when we do it can be pretty exciting. It also has ushered in some freezing temps, it is going to be 8 degrees tomorrow night!!! That is super super low for us. On top of it all being a milkman my husband has to work in that awful weather all night long.

So I like to make sure I send my husband to work with a nice warm meal in him. This Chicken & Rice Soup fits that bill. Not only is it simple to prepare but it is filling, warm and makes the best leftovers!

Mine always ends up a little thicker than soup, but you can always add more stock to thin it out per your taste.

This is also a great base soup, you can add any veggies you like to it. We keep it simple with just carrots, but you can add zucchini, corn, broccoli or anything you like!

If I have the time I will start the soup with bone in, skin on chicken and then pick it off the bone. If I am in a rush (or just being lazy) I use boneless skinless, I like that I can take them straight from the freezer and pop them right in the soup pot, no planning ahead needed. In fact now that I think about it I always have the ingredients on hand to make this yummy soup!

So next time the weather outside is frightful, just whip up this delicious crowd pleasing soup and the whole family will be happy and warmed up!

That does look good, Parrish. I’m sure the stick of butter at the end doesn’t hurt!! I love a recipe like this for a day when you are stuck in the house and will enjoy the aroma as it cooks. I also like that you mentioned adding more veggies. This can be a simple way to up the nutrition… we are crazy about celery in this house, and I might add corn and broccoli as well.
